Default Hi from... Belgium

Hi everybody. First of all, I would like to apologize for my english since it's not my first language (French instead...).

Short presentation: I am 48, have a wife and two children daughter (17 y) and son (19 y).

I am rather sporty (judo, jogging) and my favourite hobby is restoration "as new" and collection of trail or trial bikes of the eighties: the ones that I have dreamt of (or that I owned) when I was a teenager : Honda XL500S (1980) and XR500R (1982), yamaha XT500SP (1989), TY175 (1982) and DT125mx (1986).

I ended up to discover your forum when google searching for a way to bluetooth-upgrade my new mammy (a still young-looking s-type).

In fact, the S-type is my 3rd Jaguar which came to fullfill our desire for a classic-looking Jag.

I first have owned a XF, replaced by a second ... XF (nearly the same, but with an engine upgrade). In august, since my son needed a car to go to the university, my wife gave him her volvo and replaced it by a second-hand 2004 S-type.

Here, big bore petrol engine are financially nearly unbearable, so many (luxury) cars are moved by diesel engines.

So My XF s a 3.0 TDV6, my S-type is a 2.7 TDV6 and the Volvo C30 is an 1.6 TD4.

So, I think That's all for the presentation.

Best regards.
Luc

Hello Luc,

sending my Hello from nearby Germany. I'm living near Cologne, thus not so far away from the Belgian border.

Regards,

Ralf
